White Guilt - Getting Beyond Race

[BrownArmy]

I didn’t say dress white...

OK, but you basically said ‘don’t dress black’, with some stereotypes about how ‘the blacks’ dress.

Here’s the thing, you can be gay and hide it, but it’s reallll hard to hide being black.

BBSAM could have been wearing ‘Ivanka Trump’, all the Dad saw was BLACK.

Can't post anything meaningful?
No problem … just attack the other person.

OJ was aquitted because he was rich not because he was black. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

 

[bbsam]

LOL
You're a Mod so fix this ... I don't think OJ has been murdered yet.

PS - Delete this post after fixing yours please sir.

I don’t believe it is incorrect. You could purposely read it incorrectly but the “murderers of Emmett Till” and “OJ Simpson” are subjects of the interrogative. I think that’s fairly clear.

OJ was aquitted <sic> because he was rich not because he was black. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

That was @bbsam who brought that up.

And like I posted earlier:

I have not drank alcohol in over a year.
I have not smoked pot in over 9 months.

 

[MAKAVELI]

That’s dishonest.

No it's not. Black "American" culture dates back hundreds of years. Tupac died in 1996. Now explain to me how Tupac = black culture.

 

[MAKAVELI]

That was @bbsam

Racism in the justice system still exists. Ttku...

I did dress white. Everybody did. It was the Cosby era. El DeBarge. Lionel Richie. L.L. Cool J.

People see color. They just do.

It’s more than just 2Pac this goes back into the 80’s and goes mainstream in the 90s with NWA. (Do I need to spell out NWA for you?)

Denying gangster rap as part of a defining moment in black culture is dumb. It literally sprouted from the black ghettos.

Dropping grammar, nice...

If you wanna believe the hype, so did Vanilla Ice.

Vanilla ice is not gangster rap, either is mc hammer.

 

[Old Man Jingles]

Just to be clear, both the murderers of Emmett Till and OJ Simpson were acquitted, correct?

You posted "both the murderers of Emmett Till and OJ Simpson were acquitted".

What am I missing?

That was my point, you could dress as white as possible, but dad just saw BLACK.

El DeBarge, thanks for bringing me back!

I take this back maybe he did try to be gangster.

I didn’t say they were.

80's fashion - Google Search:

Sad as I am to say it, these fashions could have made it into my wardrobe.

Hmmmm. Maybe I’m gay...

Black ghettos were the result of of socio economic racism. Ttku.....

Racism in the justice system still exists.

Whatever ... still not relevant to this thread's subject.

But like you pointed out earlier ... it's more about class disparity than racism.
